Check these out!... These are my images from my Summer 2015 tour of the Upper Peninsula. We just went over to the eastern parts, that would just include the area of pictured rocks.

Anyways, so the Northern parts of Michigan are really intriguing. These images were created as I was just playing around with Photoshop. The results were so truly mesmerizing. I came up with so much of them, that was truly incredible how many versions I eventually came up with in Photoshop. So, I decided that I would upload a part of them into Flickr so that I can still leave some additional space onto my memory drive. I was thinking about developing/processing some of my images using technique to increase the camera's own Dynamic Range. This kind of processing is known as High Dynamic Range manipulation. And the original had so much in them, in fact, that using such techniques was practically, for the most part, obsolete. At least that's how it turned out in these circumstances. In fact, I enjoy both HDR images, as well as others. Those that come along with high contrast. Or those that are processed in a way as to show the true depth to them; those with a great amount of whites and blacks. Or simply those that include the right amount of tone to them... the thing that I would like to get at about is that you can increase contrast a number of ways. Whether you adjust levels, curves, or use the RAW processor... the method you use is totally up to you. Sometimes images appear better once they have their dynamic range manipulated, or expanded. Still, other times, images look equally as compelling once their tones really stand out and are contrasting against each other! So this is just one of the ways that photography itself has been quite interesting in general. And for me, I just like to keep all of the versions of images that I come up with. And there is no wrong or right way to achieve what one calls a "perfect" result.
